Types of Administrative Authority

Regardless of the number of administrators you define for your site, CA TPX recognizes four types of administrative authority. Each class of administrator can be assigned authority for this product.

Master Administrator

Assigns responsibilities to other administrators. The head security officer usually holds this responsibility.

System Administrator

Defines system options and defaults. Members of technical services or systems programming groups usually hold this responsibility.

Operator Administrator

Defines tables to limit the operator commands a user can issue. The manager of computer operations usually holds this responsibility. This class applies to CA TPX only.

User Administrator

Defines user IDs and specifies options for a user or group of users. Department heads usually hold this responsibility.
